When Madi and Tristan reached out to us about wedding photography, she shared with us that she had been dreaming up an adventurous engagement session in one of her favorite places- Duluth, MN. Not only were we super pumped to shoot somewhere new, we love shooting places that are meaningful to our couples. After some searching (and talking to quite a few Minnesota photographers online), we decided to shoot at Tettegouche State Park. First of all, this place is gorgeous. Aslan and I (Andria, here) spent the day hiking around and exploring and almost got lost after scouting out one of the largest waterfalls in MN.

Madi and Tristan are so sweet together and absolutely hilarious. We began our shoot cliff-side, overlooking Lake Superior, while the two of them laughed and danced to Beyonce. After wandering around a bit, we went down near the water and Madi and Tristan walked rock to rock, barefoot, as the sun began to set. We situated them on a rock and, to our surprise, there was a stunning rainbow just above them. We all did a little bit of freaking out about how perfect it was and then the two of them stood, foreheads together, under the sprinkling rain. As the sun tucked beneath the horizon, Madi and Tristan sat sweetly together in the water as waved crashed over them. It was absolutely intimate and beautiful and perfect.
